Cyberbullying, Sexting, and Social Networking, Oh My! Teen Years, Cyber Fears

How can parents keep track of their adolescent’s on line activity in today’s busy world? Join us for a special free community presentation on Thursday April 26^th at 6:00 pm at Platt High School. Scott Driscoll, founder and owner of Internet Safety Concepts will give an important presentation about today’s technologies and the benefits as well as the dangers associated with them. Mr. Driscoll will inform attendees about how to stay safe and protect their families from on line predators. Topics covered will include: cyberbullying, securing your browser, sextortion, texting, social networking and more. This event is open to middle and high school students and their parents, teachers, coaches, and members of the community.

Mr. Driscoll worked in law enforcement for more than 22 years, many of those years as a Youth Officer and DARE Instructor.  Several years ago he began teaching elementary school children about the dangers of the Internet. Seeing the growing need and concern for Internet safety, Mr. Driscoll developed programs for middle school and high school students as well as parents.

As a law enforcement officer, he took part in numerous internet crime investigations. Some of the crimes were undercover on-line investigations, possession and distribution of child pornography, on-line bullying and harassment, identity theft, enticement of minors and many others. Along with on-line investigations, Mr. Driscoll had conducted forensic computer examinations for law enforcement agencies and instructs fellow law enforcement officials on how to use the Internet for investigations. 

We hope that you will join us for this FREE educational forum which is being presented by Rushford, Meriden SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Platt High School.  A light dinner will be provided. For more information please call Krystle Blake at Rushford at 203-238-6800.
